DetNet provides its partners in the mining industry with the means to optimize their blasts through accurate timing and control. Blast optimisation can lead to better fragmentation and ultimately increase the productivity of a mine. A world leader in the innovative design and industrialization of electronic initiation systems, DetNet remains ahead of the increasingly stringent regulatory, safety and environmental demands.

As a 50/50 joint venture between JSE-listed AECI and Dyno Nobel, a subsidiary of Incitec Pivot Limited, DetNet is represented globally by both AEL Mining Services and Dyno Nobel, thus providing global access and support for all its products.

DetNet has designed, developed and commercialized a reliable and robust range of electronic detonators, control equipment and software to ensure that its technologies continually deliver tangible value to mining operations around the globe.

The ViewShot blast design software package allows blasting plans to be designed and simulated on a computer that can be directly downloaded into the control equipment which enables the user to save substantial time during the blasting process
